Quotes: Alexa Chung

"... I'm a fan of how people express themselves through clothes. That's the thing that compels me. I'm still most inspired by girls on the street that I walk past. I'll be like, "Oh that's an interesting way of wearing that!" It's all about context and juxtaposition and how they're mixing everything together." 

–– Alexa Chung (b. 1983), fashion designer,model, television presenter, writer
